I would recommend the product because the flooring is beautiful. My husband showed it to our neighbor who absolutely loved it! We had a contractor install our flooring who was recommended by the store manager. I feel the contractor didn't know what he was doing. He finished a week ago and the T-molding is already coming up. I called him to fix it but I'm still waiting! If you have someone install your flooring, make sure he/she has experience in installing Bellawood. The flooring is 5 stars, but I took off one star for the experience of the contractor.

I purchased three 6.5 ft. lengths of the Brazilian Koa T-molding. One is fine, one has a 6-inch crack in the middle of it, making this piece worthless, and the third has a major flaw that was repaired with wood filler. For the price of these things they should all be in excellent condition. [*] quality inspection.

No, depending on the flooring thickness you are using this T-molding the "leg is 1/4" tall & the 2" wide portion that sits on top of the floor is 3/8" thick (total is 5/8").You leave approx. a I-1/4" space (gap) between the two floors for the "leg" to drop down into & secure to the substrate.So... as long as your flooring is 1/4" thick or more this will sit on top it with no gap.Please call our Tech and Installation Dept. @ (800) 366-4204 for a detailed answer to your question.

Q:

I need the lowest possible profile and widest possible Koa T-molding for between 2 rooms. Is this 5/8" inch X 2 the only one available or is there one that is less than 5/8" thick and/or wider than 2"?

This product question would be better answered by our Sales Department, they are more familiar with all of our flooring products and can better assist you with your questions.Please call our Sales Dept. @ (800) 476-0007 for pricing and availability. Thank you for your inquiry.

I plan on installing 3/8 Brazilian koa from Shon and wish to change directions of the flooring from room to room, would this product be the one to use? I am concerned about the 1/4 inch difference between flooring.

This T-molding can accommodate this height difference.Thank you for your inquiry.

Q:

We will need a transition strip between engineered hardwood to tile. The height difference between the two floors is between 1/8 - 1/4", with the tile being the higher floor, will this T-molding work? Will it tend to "rock" when stepped on?

This T-molding will work if placed correctly and secured properly to the subflooring.Thank you for your inquiry.

Q:

I have this t-molding to go with my engineered floor that i will be floating over a slab and will transition to a tile floor. How do i fasten the t-molding to the floor? I would like to avoid nailing into the engineered wood. Should it sit loosely, or do I glue it to the slab?
